 * Strong Oppose The plane makes it have even less EV, and an amateur photograph of this event will have FAR less EV and quality then any of the NASA photographs of the event I'm sure. Plus it doesn't meet criteria since it's used in a gallery, that and the article is massively over-illustrated and needs seriously thinned, and this image will likely be one that will be removed when that occurs. —  raeky  t  09:08, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Agreed, the plane adds nothing to our understanding of the subject, it only distracts. It's interesting on some level, but much more suited to Commons than here, where encyclopaedic value comes first. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  09:31, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Fuck me, that gallery needs to go. My eyes hurt. Could I suggest a speedy close for a registered user to move on the basis of low EV, use not more than in a gallery, and borderline (if that) resolution? 109.149.78.250 (talk) 20:10, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose for Wikipedia But I suggest the nominator take this to Commons. However, before doing so, upload a much higher-resolution photo (this one has been extremely downscaled), and get rid of the watermark: that's a big no-no! - Running On Brains (talk) 22:04, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
